re: Why do we have a coaches poll?

It would be better if they ranked teams based on their performance week to week. As it is, they rank teams based on whether they get a win or a loss and move them around in relation to the previous week's ranking.

Case in point, the Auburn game against Jacksonville State. They dropped a few spots with a win, but they shouldn't have still been in the top 25 based on their performance in that game.

Problem is people don't have that much time to watch the games. They see a W or an L, look at last week's poll and shuffle a few teams around.
